DreamHack continues to Twitch

DreamHack and Twitch are renewing their vows, announcing yesterday that the two companies would continue a partnership this year that began in 2009. Audiences will be able to tune into Twitch to watch all of DreamHack’s premium esports content live, including DreamHack ASTRO Open, DreamLeague, DreamHack Masters and the DreamHack Hearthstone Grand Prix circuit as part of the agreement, with 11 major events on the schedule in 2017, including DreamHack Austin on April 28. In addition, 2017 DreamHack will be partnering with Twitch on Russian coverage. The move comes in addition to DreamHack’s recent deal with Twitter to also stream its events.

“DreamHack is not only one of our longest running partners, they are immensely popular among the Twitch community,” said Stuart Saw, Director of Esports Strategy, Twitch. “As the esports industry continues to evolve, DreamHack has been at the forefront of the movement with our partnership enabling them to reach a global audience. We look forward to another year of sharing their incredible content with the passionate esports fanbase on Twitch.”
